T = 12:00 I just read your blog on imputed and imparted righteousness. So, if imputed righteousness is God’s mercy and compassion extended toward us, does that mean that everyone in the world, including Sinners who ultimately reject God’s mercy and do not respond positively to it, receive God’s imputed righteousness?
T = 13:50 I just read your blog regarding the red heifer. Recently, 4 red heifers (meeting the requirements set forth in the Bible) were sent from Texas to Israel.

Rumors are spreading that Israelis are planning to sacrifice a red heifer around Passover. But will the sacrifice actually be made, what would it mean for Jews and Christians, and what would happen next?

T = 15:45 If the “souls” of the righteous are safely stored in the Lamb’s book of life, where do the “souls” of the unbelievers and rejectors of God go in sleep death?
T = 17:30 What are your thoughts on the Shepherd Motif, particularly of breaking the lost sheep’s limbs?
